Teachers dealing with horrible aftermath

I would just like to put in a word for our teachers, and just a thought I would like to see what would happen if every teacher, day care worker, preschool worker and even the baby-sitters would take two days off at the same time.

Truth known, it would bring this country to its knees.

Our teachers are dealing with some horrible aftermath the federal government has caused, like telling all the parents their kids are stupid and hyper and must have Ritalin drugs to calm them down. And then for the money the Feds said we must add a supplement to the Ritalin to really help these kids. When they say supplement, it’s a word saying it is not regulated and anything goes with these drugs.

Now in my day when us kids run crazy and got too far out of hand, especially with showing disrespect, (you got) the ol Hickory wood shed tobacco stick. If you thought you were tough (it) worked great.

I respect my parents until the day I die, not from fear but just knowing I needed to know about life and its consequences and knowing they love me. My parents are gone and they are in heaven, but I still say “yes ma’am” and “yes sir” to people I meet.

But back to the teachers, they are dealing with these kids raised on Ritalin and the other drugs starting from the third and fourth grade. That’s the reason for all the violence in the schools. They either didn’t take their drugs the good doctor prescribed or run out and this is where crack, meth, cocaine and heroin comes in, along with the guns, knives and whatever.

So I say check your kids if they have ever used any of these drugs. Please support your children’s teachers. They are faced with abuse, disrespect and violence and should be paid $50,000 a year for putting their life on the line.
